because this contradicts the video. The constraint was still there when the sketch went green. I try to follow the videos as faithfully as I can. Can I ask how you knew that was the solution?

Re: one section off sketch vid 09
The videos where made with 0.16 and that version was more forgiving with redundant constraints in sketcher. These additional constraints frequently occured when constraints are set automatically. In those days noone cared for them if subsequent steps where successful.
With the current 0.18 Sketcher you get a warning immediately.

You edited your post while I wrote my previous answer.
I have seen here many sketches where the symmetry constraint was the cause of problems. I guess I have written tens if not hundreds of posts concerning these overconstraints. Today I read a post of an experienced user who omits the symmetry completely if possible.

I want to add that I rate bejant's videos very high!

Ok, I should have used the past tense. I haven't watched them in the light of 0.17.

Re: one section off sketch vid 09
Actually those videos are from 2014 which means they were made with FreeCAD 0.14, maybe even 0.13.
Back in 2014, I was aware that the symmetric constraint could be problematic, but did not yet understand why. I hadn't figured out the possible conflicts with existing horizontal and vertical constraints. We've all learned a lot since then.
You lost your password? Can't you reinitialize it?
Re: one section off sketch vid 09
I didn't lose it - I know what the password is. The last time I went to log in I mis-typed the password. Since that, even after answering their verification question correctly and providing them the reset code they sent to my other e-mail address, they say that they are unable to verify me. They want more information from me (and that information could allow them to more personally identify me) and I'm not yet ready to provide it.
I guess that I grew up in an era when we valued our privacy more than people seem to value privacy nowadays.
